he's accused of teaching people how to make explosives and weapons of mass destruction. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. see you back here 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." ashleigh banfield takes it from here. she's live in new york. thank you, wolf. hello, everyone. i'm ashleigh banfield sitting in for brooke baldwin today. i got a lot to get to this hour, including the mother who disappeared without a trace and then reappeared after more than a decade. and guess what, now she's talking about why she walked out on her family. then, as the powerball jackpot rises to a new record, i'll speak with a man who just won millions. and get this, it was after finding the winning ticket in a cookie jar, months later. and this has got to be the video of the day, a daddy who surprises his daughter on the

baseball diamond after he spent a year in afghanistan. it is just heart warming. they're going to join me live right here in the newsroom. first, to a shocking murder mystery that is enveloping -- developing as we speak. a former lawyer, who gave up her career to help her husband, that's her. and then he was a well known and seemingly well liked professor at creighton university. this week their bodies, the bodies of roger brumback and his wife mary, were found inside their home in omaha, nebraska. it is a mystery as to how they died and why. cnn's kyung lah joins me live now. police are being tight lipped on the details which usually makes people wonder why are they being tight lipped, how did this happen, and what are the circumstances? what do we actually know about this mystery? >> reporter: well let's begin with who this couple is, and that's really what people who live in omaha are particularly

concerned about, because we're talking about a very kind, upstanding, 65-year-old couple, both 65 years old. you're looking at dr. roger brumback and his wife, mary. dr. brumback worked at creighton university in the pathology department. that's something you're going to want to remember. well, they were planning on moving to west virginia. dr. brumback had just announced his retirement from the university. they were excited about the move. well, this week a piano mover came to the house on tuesday, and discovered the body of dr. brumback. it was in the hallway. his wife mary's body was also found inside the home, also found at the scene, according to the omaha police department, a gun clip. at this point, ashleigh, we don't know if it is connected to the crime. police not making that connection for us at this moment. but they are certainly very concerned about what is the brutal slaying of a couple who, you know, as i said, well loved, well admired by this community, actually. >> it seems the mystery is

getting more bizarre because there was an unsolved crime back in 2008, i believe in the same community. are they actually trying to figure out if there is any connection between those two crimes? >> reporter: that's perhaps why the police at this point are keeping it so close to the vest on this latest murder. the murder that you're referring to, ashleigh, happened five years ago in 2008. i want you to take a look at the picture of these two people. 11-year-old thomas hunter, and the housekeeper, shirlee sherman. they were both fatally stabbed five years ago. this little boy's father worked with the victim we're talking about this week. in the pathology department, at creighton university. now, it is an unusual and strange coincidence. so what the cold case detectives in omaha are doing is that they are working with the homicide detectives of this latest murder and trying to see if there is any connection because of the connection at the university,

ashleigh. >> wow. omaha, of all places. usually so quiet. you don't expect this kind of thing. kyung lah, working on those details for us, thank you for that. a new twist in the unsolved case of madeleine mccann. she's that little british girl who disappeared back in 2007 while on a family vacation in portugal. these are aged images of that little girl. what she might look like today. her parent s had gone out to dinner nearby and they left her. she was 3 years old, but she was close by. they left her because she was sleeping. they could even almost get a visual on the door when they went to have dinner, but when they got back, she had disappeared. and now today british police are announcing they have identified a number of suspects in this little girl's disappearance. but details at this point are very early and very vague but just coming into us now. all of this comes two years after combing through the files and new leads.

they reopened all of this in 2011, fresh eyes, fresh perspective. all of this as her parents recently said the kidnapping case in cleveland gives them hope that their daughter is still alive. sunday would have marked madeleine mccann's 10th birthday. just a fascinating development in that story that has left us mystified for so many years. here is another mystery, a million dollar jewel heist, one like you see in the movies. it reads right out of a hollywood thriller. so take a look at some of the beautiful jewels. apparently stolen in cannes, france. they're from the famous swiss jewelry house chopart. this is a big time in cannes. there is a big festival and typically a lot of very expensive jewels. can you give us whatever details we do know about this heist? >> reporter: sure. this is a massive showcase, especially for chopart, the

swiss jeweller who doesn't just make the jewelers for the a-list, but also sponsors cannes and makes the 24 carat gold award given at the end of the festival. what we know about this particular theft is that basically thieves were able to access the hotel room of an employee and the jewels were inside the hotel safe. now, whoever went in basically just unscrewed the safe from the wall, with the jewels inside, and left the hotel. now, we don't know what the exact pieces were. we do know that there has been talk of estimated value as much as $1 million, but according to chopard who put out a statement, they said the value is far lower than those circulating in the media and the jewels were not part of the collection to be worn on the red carpet by any celebrities. although they do confirm that, yes, these were, indeed, stolen straight out of the room of an employee. >> just amazing. isn't this a bit bizarre?

if i recall, the night that this is supposed to have happened was the night of a premiere of emma watson's new movie "the bling ring" about a jewelry heist. >> yeah. in a strange twist of coincidence, the theft appears to have happened just as the premiere of "the bling ring" was going on. it is about a gang of teen thieves that goes into celebrity homes and robs them of their bling. so there was some buzz on twitter that maybe this was a pr stunt. it was all speculation and french police say, no, this is a real theft, it really did happen and they are investigating further trying to figure out who did it. >> wow. i wonder if it is coincidence or if there was some connection, jewelry heist they thought would be fun to do on that premiere. it is amazing. let us know when you find out more on that, atika, just incredible. it is a hollywood story. thank you. atika shubert live from london. another weird story, the pennsylvania mother who vanished from her family 11 years ago and

then turned up homeless says she hasn't spoken with her kids yet, but she is talking to someone else, dr. phil. brenda heist spoke to him in jail. she's in custody in florida for violating parole after arrests in two counties. in 2002, heist, under stress, abandoned her young daughter and her son in pennsylvania. this is a picture of them recently. her husband became a suspect in her disappearance. but then last month, looking very different on the right-hand side of your screen, than when she disappeared on the left-hand side of the screen, she turned herself into a deputy. she talked with dr. phil about her family. >> do you want their forgiveness? >> i would like their forgiveness, but i'm going to have a hard time forgiving myself for what i've done. i've never even been around homeless people. maybe seen them on the street sometimes but never been around homeless people at all.

never knew anything about it. that's why i had my own -- my own problems believing what i was doing. but i just kept saying to myself, they're better off without me. >> when did you stop crying and start living? >> i don't know. i don't know that i've ever stopped crying and started living to be honest with you. >> wow. 11 years later. by the way, heist's full interview is going to air on dr. phil on his show on monday. coming up next, the man who o.j. simpson said just didn't do the job well enough in defending him has to take the stand himself. from defense table to the witness stand and face to face with his former client o.j. simpson, find out yale galanter's side of the story and what he is going to say about o.j. after defending him for so long. and also, emotions running very high as the crews search for survivors after deadly

the man who defended o.j. simpson in his 2008 robbery trial, because you got to keep track of o.j.'s trials, is defending himself instead today. mr. simpson is alleging that this man yale galanter took his money in '08 but failed to provide a good enough defense for him and that that's why he was found guilty. o.j. simpson has already lost an appeal, but that robbery conviction and kidnapping conviction and wants a whole new trial based on my lawyer was lousy, happens all the time, folks, doesn't often work, but this time who knows. all of this stemmed from the incident you're seeing on the screen in 2007. simpson meets up with a bunch of goons, couple of other men, they go it a las vegas hotel, simpson wants to take back things he says are his, memorabilia stolen from him. this was his story. he testified himself, mr. simpson, on wednesday, that he

had consulted his lawyer before. his lawyer being yale galanter. said he consulted him about the scheme and was given this advice. >> overall advice he gave me was his you have a right to get your stuff. gave me an example that if you were walking down the street and saw your laptop with your name on it, in a car, you can use the force to break the window of the car to get the laptop. >> well, yale galanter has a whole other story there. in fact, he's completely shooting down simpson's testimony. it started just from the moment he took the stand this morning. have a listen for yourself what yale galanter says. >> he never told me of a plan. and, second, i said call the police. he said that he had already tried to call the police and they weren't doing anything. and i said, o.j., you know, you got to call police. and if you don't call the

police, call me, call ron, call security. >> okay. so cnn's legal contributor paul kalyn is here. not ineffective in anything he ever does on the air, my first question. there you have yale galanter, an attorney, saying i actually spoke with my client about a potential criminal activity. and advised him to call the police. the criminal activity goes on anyway, and then he represents him. is he not a witness and thus should he have been representing him after that crime? >> we're getting very, very close to the line here. there is something called the crime fraud exception to the attorney/client privilege. that is, if a client tells you he's going to commit a future crime, you have no obligation as an attorney to keep it a secret and you could -- >> does it matter the crime? >> doesn't matter what it is. if you say in the future, i'm going to do this or said to your lawyer, i want to do this, how do i do it? how do i get away with it? the lawyer would become part of

a conspiracy to commit the crime and in tha wouldn't be acting as an attorney, no privilege. but galanter here was very careful in his testimony. here's what he says. he says, you know, o.j. at this, we're having drinks and having dinner in vegas and o.j. is telling me about getting this stuff back and i'm not paying that close attention. and then all of a sudden, my head pops up and i realize that he's playing with these guys to go into this room and i tell him don't do it, o.j., go to the police, okay? that's how galanter protects himself. later in his testimony, galanter says, i became aware at some point in time that simpson knew the other guys had guns. now, that's directly contradictory with simpson's claim that i didn't know anything about the guns. but it is not clear had that came into galanter's knowledge. may have been after the robbery had taken place. >> effectively, with yale galanter trying to defend himself, he is yet again indicting his former client for

lying about knowing that there were ever any guns involved in all the goons decided to go upstairs and get junk back. >> this is why it is so dangerous to get into your fistfight with your attorney. the attorney knows everything. he knows where all the skeletons are buried. >> by the way, he's not privileged. if he's on the stand, he has to give up the conversations he and o.j. had, which, before now, he was not allowed to do. >> absolutely. and it is o.j. simpson that lifted the attorney/client privilege by criticizing him. >> it just occurred to me, i don't know that it is appropriate questioning or if it could ever be a question in this particular case, or if the question were asked, if there be an objection that would be sustained, could somebody have -- did mr. simpson ever say anything about the murders nicole and ron and would he have to answer? >> no, that would remain privileged. the testimony about that actual murder really isn't a part of this case. now, on the other hand, if o.j.

simpson raised it and said, i had a conversation with galanter and i reaffirmed that i was innocent, yes, then it could come up, door is open. >> no privilege anymore. >> o.j. is not opening that door. he's opening a lot of doors, but he'll never open that door. >> can i reaffirm the bummer in all of that, because it wouldn't matter if out on the stand anything was said about those murders. o.j. could get up on the stand and say i did it and it wouldn't matter because -- >> double jeopardy. >> he could confess on the courthouse steps to the murder and never can he be prosecuted for it. >> just keeps getting weirder and weirder with that man. >> always. always. if it is o.j., it is going to be strange and bizarre. >> happy friday. have a good weekend. good to see you. firework on capitol hill. you think it is a weird friday? just 48 hours after resigning, you try being the head of the irs because it is grill time. i'm not talking barbecue in the backyard. this guy is facing questions about what he knew, when he knew what he knew, all of it pertaining to the agency targeting conservative groups.

>> who started the targeting? who knew? when did they know? and how high did it go? who leaked the private taxpayer information? are you flo? yes. is this the thing you gave my husband? well, yeah, yes. the "name your price" tool. you tell us the price you want to pay, and we give you a range of options to choose from. careful, though -- that kind of power can go to your head. that explains a lot. yo, buddy!

i got this. gimme one, gimme one, gimme one! the power of the "name your price" tool. only from progressive. 150 years. from the civil war era, right up to today. and through it all, the california teachers association has stood strong. for the legislation that established california's free public schools... ensuring funding for all students... the first law to reduce class sizes... and establishing community colleges.

our schools may have changed, but our commitment to california's children never will... because we know quality public schools make a better california for all of us. it has only been one week since the irs admitted that it flagged applications for tax exempt status from groups whose

names sounded conservative, like tea party and the like. just seven days later congress is swinging into action. on the right, that's steven miller, acting irs commissioner. he submitted histion and on the left is russell, he's the irs official who investigated this matter. first, listen to steven miller. >> as acting commissioner, i want to apologize on behalf of the internal revenue service for the mistakes we made and the poor service we provided. i do not believe that partisanship motivated the people who engaged in the practices described in the treasury inspector general's report. i think that what happened here was that foolish mistakes were made by people trying to be more efficient in their work load selection. >> well, mr. miller also said that the problems occurred in cincinnati, which is home of something called the determinations unit. determinations unit. regardless of what you think of that name, he said overwhelmed workers started taking some

short cuts after applications for tax exempt status jumped fourfold. thank you, citizens united. so republican congressman paul ryan wanted to know did those short cuts also include flagging just progressive groups or conservative groups and progressive groups as well? >> we centralized cases based on political activity, evidenced in the file. we took a short cut on some of it, but we collected, to be blunt, more than tea party cases. mr. george's own report -- >> there were no progressive or organizing words that were used for targeting, correct? >> that's correct. >> okay. so mr. miller tried to elaborate, but paul ryan cut him off. and the question, we all want answered, is who gave the orders? and did those orders come from above? >> did you ever have any contact either by e-mail, phone or in

person with the white house regarding the targeting of tax exempt groups from 2010 until today? >> absolutely not. >> well, joining us now from washington, d.c. is cnn congressional correspondent dana bash, who had to navigate her way through a couple of political stories in her day. they both say this was not political, dana bash. how am i as an average guy out there in america watching this going down not to believe that it is not political when the words that were flagged were conservative words? >> it is hard to believe. and that is why the couple of the questions that were not answered are frustrating to members of congress in both parties. one of the questions that you asked, ashleigh, many lawmakers asked, who devised this? who came up with this? it was not something that miller answered. he said he didn't know. and that phrase i don't know or i don't recall, something that he uttered many, many times. and that also frustrated members

of congress. so there is two things going on. first of all, of course, the whole action and how this happened, why it happened. but then, of course, you have the idea that members of congress are furious because miller and other officials from their perspective misled congress. this very committee has been investigating this for years. and he did not disclose the fact that he learned about this one year ago. and so you had a lot of very, very testy exchanges about that in particular, never mind the whole concept of what happened. >> thank you. i'm trying to figure out what they're more angry at, the fact there was a process of, you know, an avoidance of disclosure, which, you know, the acting commissioner, former acting commissioner said, you didn't ask, so i didn't answer questions you didn't ask about, or the bigger question, is this the practice and where liberal groups targeted as often as the conservative groups? i have yet to see or hear any numbers. i did miss something? >> reporter: you didn't miss anything. what you played, the questioning that paul ryan asked of miller,

i think, was about all we got. you mentioned very well, ashleigh, part of the issue in miller's defense is he didn't get a chance to finish some of his answers. i think we have seen it is still unclear why there was such a discrepancy between conservative groups and progressive groups with regard to how many they singled out or that they put in for extra scrutiny. some people have argued that the reason is because they were just more conservative groups who were applying. you did hear miller say that part of the reason, actually, the main reason he insisted they did this was because the number of applications for tax exempt status doubled. and they did it as a short cut. >> well, i would love to know the percentages at some point. i get it if there were more conservative groups, there would be more flags on conservative groups, but i would want to know the percentage of the progressive groups was equal, if i were a person seeking satisfaction in the story and who knows if -- are we going to

get that -- get the numbers at any point? >> those numbers, maybe. there are going to be a number of other hearings coming up, one in the house next week and the senate is also investigating, maybe. but don't hold your breath. >> don't take vacation next week. have a lovely weekend. dana bash, thank you. >> bye. coming up, seven months ago, police say a couple lost their two young children to murder. by their own nanny. and now that couple has some very good news, some very welcome news. they're expecting a baby. perfect development in what has been a heart breaking tragedy. emotional obstacles they may - face coming up next. it's strange, i'm getting gray, but kate -- still looks like...kate. nice'n easy with colorblend technology gives expert highlights and lowlights. for color that's true to you. i don't know how she does it. with nice'n easy, all they see is you. and i have a massive heart attack right in my driveway. the doctor put me on a bayer aspirin regimen.

this on the front page, i want to hold up the front page of the daily news, our baby joy, you can see down here, the family. i think it is heart warming for a lot of people here who have lived through this story, i personally worked at the network where kevin krim works. but i don't -- i can't for a moment imagine what they're going through, that the tragedy turning to the joy and how you can still try to abate that tragedy. >> well, they are absolutely courageous to have another child. think about it. there are so many other parents who would be afraid, they couldn't go through the heart break of seeing a child, because it may remind them of leo or lulu. and they have decided that they are going to continue their recovery. now, let's be clear, right after their children were murdered, they went to california, and stayed with relatives, and the healing began there. and then they started a long cross country trip back to the east, and that was part of the healing. >> is that part of the idea of

getting out of the thick of the horror and getting new environmental stimuli, changing up your traditional day to day habits so these are not allied with every memory? >> it is that time-out, but for adults, where you separate yourself from all of that stimuli that is retraumatizing you over and over again, and getting the support of, in this case, a lot of family, and now friends as they made it back over to the east. it is great. and they also started a fund for leo and lulu, an educational fund, to help other children. so that's all part of that healing. >> so about the rearing of the baby, and the surviving child, if you don't know the story, one of the children was with mrs. krim when this disaster was unfolding. and thus was unscathed by these horrifying crimes. trying to deal with that child who has lost two siblings, and now adding a sibling, we have a lot of dynamics playing out

here. the grown-ups, the child and the new child. and what you tell the new child as that child is growing up. >> there are a lot of moving parts. you're absolutely correct. and i think for them it's a -- time as to how they speak to the surviving child, helping the surviving child as far as survivors' guilt, being the only one that made it, but a lot of that survivors' guilt abates because there is another child coming into the picture, and teaching the surviving child and the new child how to love, how to trust, and for these incredible parents, how to be parents again and bring more joy and a new life into the world, that this time we know won't be taken away from them. >> so wish them the best, the krim family. >> they're wonderful people. >> and really, i mean, our entire news team just sort of exhaled when we saw the story this morning. >> finally a good news story, right? >> i know. have a good weekend. >> all right. >> always good to see you. thank you for your insight. so smart. i want to take you to texas.

counties, all around the ft. worth and dallas area. the outbreak lasted, if you can believe it, a terrifying seven hours. when it was all over, at least six people were killed. cnn's alina machado is one of the hardest hit areas in grand by granbury, texas. >> reporter: it was very scary and very concerning for the people in the community. we heard initially, again, people -- authorities thought the people were missing, they had not been able to find them. two of those people who had been missing contacted authorities, actually, no, two of those people who had been missing were found by search and rescue teams. the rest of them found out that they had been missing and they contacted authorities to tell them, hey, i'm okay. so very good news for the people in this community who are dealing with just so much destruction and tragedy. we want to give you a sense, a taste of the kind of damage we're talking about. we're right by a mobile home

that was destroyed in this storm. this is apparently the roof of the mobile home, you can see it is all crumpled. that's the furnace. these are some kitchen cabinets that are now here on the front lawn. if you walk over here on this side, you can see the mailbox, just laying there. and so this is also -- looks like the front door to the mobile home. there was some glass there at some point and that glass has been shredded. over here, if you look over here, that is a grill wedged underneath what is left of this mobile home. i'm going to have my photographer walk up here on what is left of this home, so you can get a better look at what's left. we have to be really careful because there is a lot of debris. there is a lot of pieces of wood, that have nails, long nails like this, just all over the place. you see that right there. that's the refrigerator of this mobile home. a partial wall left standing there. you get the sense of just how powerful and how much damage

this tornado left. this place is about a mile from a subdivision which was the hardest hit area. we haven't been able to go in there, but we understand that most of the homes in that subdivision were either damaged or destroyed. ashleigh? >> it just looks as though -- i know that when you cover storms, it is so different when you're there, than when you see it through the camera lens, but it looks as though that whole area has been put through a blender and it looks very windy as well. are they worried about any further weather or are they in the clear? >> reporter: you know, when we woke up this morning we saw some clouds and it felt like it was going to rain. today it looks like things have cleared up quite a bit. but we are hearing that some severe weather, there is the potential for severe weather in the next few days. obviously people here are going to be closely monitoring that and keeping a close look on that as they figure out what they're going to do, survivors trying to figure out if they'll be able to get back to their homes inside that subdivision and try to

salvage things before the storms had hit. we don't know when and if that will happen. >> and where they're going to live and everything else. there is just such a huge road ahead for them. alina machado, thank you for that. be careful. that debris can be very, very dangerous. i want to turn your attention now to some really welcome news for a change. a video that has a lot of people talking today and a lot of people smiling and a lot of people crying, a dad, who has been serving in afghanistan for the past year, takes a mask off. need i say more. that family will join me live next. this day calls you.

the red sox/rays game. her mom was also on the mound. didn't know a thing about it either. little did they know that catcher in disguise, catcher in disguise, he had been in afghanistan for a year. when his daughter and his wife realized it was him, the hugs, the tears of joy, you can only imagine what that family was going through at that moment what a wonderful surprise and colonel adams and his wife dana and daughter elena are kind enough to join me now live from tampa. what a great thing you did, colonel adams. how did you pull this off? >> well, i don't think i pulled it off, ashleigh. i think it was -- i know it was the uso at tampa bay and the tampa bay rays. all the work goes to them. >> what a wonderful surprise. dana, elena, you must have -- i'll use the colloquial, you must have freaked out. tell me about it. >> well, when i saw him, for a second, i couldn't believe my eyes. i was, like, wait, is that my

dad? yes, it is, and i started running towards him. >> what were you thinking, dana? you were kept in the dark as well on this. >> i had no idea at all. and i didn't even realize until after she was running and it just totally caught me off guard. it has been very exciting and totally unexpected, and just a lot of fun. >> you know what, i have to be honest with you, as a tv news anchor, we have been able to be witness and take videos of a lot of these wonderful moments when children are reunited with their parents. i got to be honest with you, i tear up every time and this time is no different. and i can only imagine what it is like to be a part of it. give me a feel for just the swelling of emotions and what you must have been thinking at that moment. >> you know, i saw them on the jumbo tron and i thought that was our surprise. and i started tearing up then and then i turned around and i just -- i couldn't even comprehend what was going on for a little while.

it was awesome. >> colonel you did that, didn't you? you did a message in the jumbo tron as though you were still overseas. how did that all work out and how long had you been plotting all of this? >> the uso contacted us last thursday to see if we were available for the game. in afghanistan that can be a -- a week sounds like a long time but all the helicopters and plane rides takes a long time. it is exciting to have the opportunity. my most nervous part was making sure my wife of 16 years didn't figure it out because she's pretty crafty. the next thing was to make sure i catch the pitcher from this little beast and she threw it right down the middle and did her dad a favor. >> you're a big, tough lieutenant in uniform. you don't think the biggest battle was not to break down and weep? >> well, that too. but fortunately i had the mask on for most of it. >> that's the other thing. dana, did you clue in before your daughter or did you have that same feeling like that

cannot be who i think it is? >> she realized it first. i just was standing there in shock and it took a while to register. and then i just -- it was unbelievable. i couldn't believe it. i had no clue whatsoever. >> elena, when we show the video of you running to your dad, and you literally jump into his arms and hug him so tightly, i can't see your face because it is buried in his shoulder, were you crying? >> no. it was more like i was just like laughing and smiling. and we watched the clip earlier today. and i said to my mom, she was, like, i was crying and everyone was like, no, you're not, you're just laughing because i watched over and she was laughing, not crying. >> she had her head buried in there pretty deep. i know dana was trying to wiggle in for some room and elena had her all blocked out. >> i'm having trouble doing this interview, every time i see the video, i get choked up.

it is such a wonderful thing to see. i have to ask you, are you home for good, colonel? >> as good as someone in the military gets to be home for, but i'm home for this time for quite a while, so should be a year, year and a half. >> a year and a half, you got to go back. >> well, we'll see. everything changes every day. >> you know what doesn't change, our appreciation for you. i'm not the only one out here who can't believe how terrific you are, and what you do and all of your colleagues who put your lives on the line for the rest of us and then have your families wait for you to come home and so just a huge thank you to you, and also to you, too, as well, for the sacrifice you made while he was overseas. dana and elena and colonel adams, thank you so much for being with us. thank you for your service, sir. >> thank you, ashleigh. appreciate the support. >> thank you very much. >> bye. >> so great to see you. >> bye. take care. what a great story. >> bye. >> great family.

in the weeks since the bombings at the boston marathon, runners around the can country have paid tribute to the victims of that horrible crime. some cities have even invited the boston runners who never were able to finish that race to just come on over and compete in their events. our tom foreman has more in today's american journey. >> reporter: across the country, ever since the bombings, thousands of runners and dozens of races have taken to the roads in the name of boston. many wearing special signs of their support, offering respect and raising money for victims. >> after i heard what they were doing for the people that didn't finish and then i researched a little bit on what this marathon was for, it just made sense to

a suburban chicago family was on the verge of losing their home and not anymore. all of it thanks to a very sweet surprise that they found in all places, a cookie jar. a cookie jar. that wing lottery ticket worth nearly $5 million. rick cerezo was cleaning out the cookie jar that was filled with dozens of all, musty lottery tickets and started comparing the numbers against the winning numbers on the lottery website and then -- >> i realized we had all six numbers, it was that shocking moment of, whoa, can this really be? so i called my son over, and asked him to double-check this. and he looks it through and goes, yep, looks like a winner. >> looks like a winner. i love that. the family says they're going to use the money, $4.8 million, to

pay off their home. i think they'll have some left over. later this hour, i'm going to talk live with the very lucky man himself, rick cerezo. and speaking of jackpots, nearly $5 million is all well and good, mr. cerezo, but chump change compared to tomorrow's powerball jackpot. it's at $600 million. and guess what? that might be chump change to what it could go up to. it is already the second largest prize in u.s. history. and the odd s of hitting the jackpot are not so good. they're about 175 million to 1. cnn has just learned from the lottery officials that if there isn't that one against the 175 million, nobody wins that, that multistate powerball lottery jackpot on saturday is going to jump to $925 million. i don't even care if you have an office pool, by that time, you're one of the richest 1% in the world. zain asher is joining us live

from passaic, new jersey. i don't know if the news has reached you yet out on the street yet, zain, but this has got to have people pretty freaked out that the chances of winning are high, but if you strike it, you strike it almost bigger than anybody else ever before. >> yeah, a lot of people here are lining up, they fancy their chances at hoping to get lucky tomorrow. i actually spoke to one man, in the process of buying ten lottery tickets. another man telling me he spends $80 a day on lottery tickets. and tomorrow would be no exception. i do want to say, though, if you are spending that kind of money, if you are buying multiple tickets, it is, of course, important that you do not spend more money than you can afford to lose. you said it, $600 million as it stands now that number could, of course, grow. you have the choice between either taking annual payments or a lump sum. the catch, of course, with the lump sum, you end up with less money, it is $376 million if you choose the lump sum. but the odds are stacked against

you. you said it, one in 175 million. that's an improvement because previously it was 1 in $195 million. now it is just only 1 in $175 million. that is not stopping people. i spoke to one woman, i said to her, listen, you wake up tomorrow and you had $600 million sitting in your account, what would you do with that money? here's what she had to say. >> i would pay off my mortgage. i would pay off my parents' house. their mortgage. i would buy a shore house for myself on the beach and definitely donate to the cancer society. my mother is a cancer survivor two times already. so donate to that. and probably another charity. and set up a college fund for my children. >> reporter: she's definitely well prepared. a lot of people i spoke to saying the same thing. they would give back. they would spend money on charity. they would give back to their community, help out their loved ones. one woman i spoke to also by the way told me she would not quit

her day job, if she had $600 million, she works as an emt, she loves her job, she would still work every single day, even if she had half a billion dollars in the bank. i know. >> i would too. i would buy cnn and give us all a day off and just air puppies 24 hours. that's what we would do here. zain asher, nice to see you. thank you for that. 925 mill. i think cnn is more expensive than that. we got a great cnn exclusive for you right now. convicted swindler bernie madoff talking about his life in prison. one time investment guru swindled nearly $20 billion from his own clients. he is now himself just a number. his inmate number, 61727-054. that's his identity at a medium security federal prison in north carolina. erin smith joins me in new york, had a chance to speak with

bernie madoff on the phone, and also the director of wall street prison consultants, larry levine, former inmate himself, joins me in los angeles as well. aaron, i want to begin with you, if i can. you had this chance to have a conversation with bernie madoff. i should clear up the record. we don't pay for interviews, but he had to call us collect, didn't he? >> that's correct. i actually mailed him a letter when he was in prison and included my number and the prison told me that he had to call me collect. which he did. and i had to deposit money from my own account, by the way, into bernie madoff's phone account. and he did call me. we spoke several times. and we did this interview and i put more money in his account about a week ago and still haven't heard from him. >> you've given money to bernie madoff. that's got to hurt. let me ask you generally speaking, a couple of things since the guy was locked away. i'm sure a lot of people are thrilled to know he's still locked away and he's not happy about being locked away. what does he say about his life behind bars? >> he said he can't sleep, gets

up at 4:30 every morning, and i think that what he told me is he thinks about his family a lot and it haunts him, the death of his oldest son, mark. mark committed suicide, he hanged himself on december 11th, 2010, that was the second anniversary of his father's arrest. he also told me that he thinks about ruth, his wife of 50 years. and he also actually says that he's responsible for the death of one of his investors, jeffrey pickhour who died of a heart attack and was the biggest beneficiary of the ponzi scheme. >> he's taking responsibility for the death of that investor. he's sorry, i guess you mean he's taking responsible for the suicide of his son. is he taking responsibility and does he show any remorse for all the other awful parts of this crime? >> he said he feels bad for the victims. i talked to a lot of victims who say they don't believe him. i spoke to someone, mike devito, the other day, one of his victims, he said it is just

words, he doesn't believe it. but he did say that. he said he feels remorse for what he did for the victims. >> hard to believe it or at least assess anything when you're not able to look into his eyes and doing this on a telephone. did you get any sense that maybe some of this time behind bars in federal prison has had an effect, has actually created some humanity in bernie madoff? >> i honestly do think that he feels bad about his son. i really think that rips him apart. he put -- he went through great pains to insulate his family from his wrongdoing. though it didn't work. his brother is now doing ten years in prison for his, you know, involvement with bernie madoff. that's his brother peter. as we know, his son committed suicide and ruth is just basically not with him anymore, he's in prison. and when i spoke to him, he sounded very calm and collected. and sort of reassuring and he came across his -- the very intelligent man he is. and i have to tell you, i can totally see how people would give him their money and he started talking about the

markets, and he definitely knows what he's talking about. and some of the stuff was above my head, to be honest with you and i was intimidated. >> larry levine, you spent time in a medium security federal prison. give me some insight as to what -- >> i was in 11 different federal institutions over ten years. i know what he's going through. >> okay. tell me what it's like. >> well, i think actually he might have scammed aaron, because he could have called him using the money he made at his job. the calls are 23 cents a minute, and he is working on the inside. so i think he just scammed you out of some money, aaron. >> we wouldn't be surprised. >> he maybe did. >> larry in all seriousness, when you get a guy like that, he's older. he's real white collar. how would he fare in federal prison? would he fall into a hierarchy of some sort? does very to play tough guy or the fact that he's really smart and maybe could help -- >> no, not where he's -- >> would that give him some

cache? >> not really where he's at. he's in a medium security -- he's not at a maximum security. there is people there doing life ut he is older and the severity of his crimes, i mean, he's the king of the cons, kings of the thieves. he's got a lot of respect among the inmates because of what he's done. nobody is going to bother him. and he's probably handing out stock advice and such. the job he had, working in the commissary, i worked in the commissary at the federal prison. that is one of the best jobs in the whole system, you can get things other inmates can't. so he's getting perks or he was. >> well, larry levine, thank you for your insight. aaron smith, good scoop. and i think all of us are probably thrilled to know that he's not sleeping at night. a lot of his victims haven't been able to sleep since -- >> he does have another job. he's cleaning off phones. >> what is he doing? >> he's cleaning phones and computers. >> that should pay him maybe 17,

29 cents an hour. >> 40 bucks a month. power to you, bernie. see if you can pay for a few of your own phone calls in the future. thank you to both of you. appreciate your time. now to a shocking murder mystery. she was a former lawyer who gave up her career to help her husband and he was a well known and seemingly well liked professor at creighton university. but this week, the bodies of dr. roger brumback and his wife mary were found inside their home in omaha, nebraska. cnn's kyung lah joins me now live. this is such a bizarre set of circumstances. and yet we're not learning much from some very tight-lipped police officers. why are they -- why are they being so cagey about the information on this? >> well, because this is so unusual for omaha. they don't want to release any details because they believe that they have a suspect on the loose right now. omaha, small city, about 400,000 people, they only have 40 murders a year. and the fact that they have a double homicide on their hands,

that's more unusual. let's look at who the victims are. dr. roger brumback and his wife mary. they're 65 years old. dr. brumback retiring from creighton university's pathology department. he had just announced his retirement, he and his wife were telling their friends and family that they were very excited about retiring to west virginia. they were planning a move. on tuesday, a mover, hired to move their piano, came and discovered the body of dr. brumback, his wife mary, her body was found inside the home as well. the omaha police department will tell us that they did find a gun clip at the home. they will not, though, ashleigh, tell us whether or not it is actually connected to this particular crime or, you know, what the connection is with this gun clip. but authorities very concerned about this case, they are hoping that the public will help them solve it, ashleigh. >> what is so bizarre, not a lot of serious hard core crime we hear about coming out of omaha,

nebraska, and yet we have something back in 2008, a murder, that involved another professor as well. same university too. is there a connection? are we making a big leap here? >> that's what they're actually trying to find out. because it is a very strange coincidence. i was talking about how the double homicides are so rare for omaha. well, five years ago, look at this picture. an 11-year-old boy and his housekeeper were fatally stabbed inside the home and this boy, thomas hunter, and his housekeeper, shirlee sherman, the little boy, his father worked at creighton university in the pathology department. the very same department where the retiree i was talking about worked. so a lot of coincidences there, very concerning for the police, the cold case detectives on this case are working with the homicide detectives on this case. so they're trying to connect the dots, seeing, ashleigh, if at all there is a connection. >> well, if there isn't. that's one bizarre coincidence. thank you, kyung lah, good work

out there for us. kyung lah reporting live for us. paris hilton is hosting a party in vegas tonight. >> do you think we can find a way in? >> i don't know. >> let's go to paris. >> oh, my god. >> this looks like a good movie. it is emma watson's new film about a group of teenagers who rob celebrities of their clothing and their jewelry and it just happens to be premiering at the cannes film festival. so here's what's so strange about the timing of the premiere. at the same time that celebs are in town for the festival, a massive jewel heist has happened and the target, chopard. this was thought to be the actual jewels that were loaned to celebrities, but they released a statement saying the

jewels that were stolen were actually not the ones intended to be worn on the red carpet. the thieves swiped those jewels from an employee's hotel room. and, again, that movie that was premiering is about a true story of a hollywood jewelry heist ring. the bling ring. coming up next, the man who o.j. simpson says did not do a good enough job defending him takes the stand to go on the defense for himself. and comes face to face with his former client. how do you think that dynamic played out? facing down o.j., when all you ever did was stand behind him. his side of the story is coming up next. matt's brakes didn't sound right... ...so i brought my car to mike at meineke...

...and we inspected his brakes for free. -free is good. -free is very good. [ male announcer ] now get 50% off brake pads and shoes at meineke. the man who defended o.j. simpson in his 2008 robbery trial is today instead defending himself. o.j. simpson alleges that yale galanter took his money in 2008, but then failed to provide a vigorous defense that resulted in his guilty verdict. and simpson wants a new trial because of it. it all stems from that incident back in 2007 when simpson and the guys who were described as goons went to the las vegas hotel to take back some memorabilia that simpson said

had been stolen from him. simpson said he told galanter, his own lawyer, about the scheme before he even did it. yale galanter shot down simpson's testimony as soon as he took the stand. listen to how he responded to that. >> he told me that he and some of his boys had an opportunity to get some of his property back. that he thought it might be in las vegas. and i said, tell me about it. and he proceeded to tell me about it. >> what did he tell you about it? >> he told me that he finally had a lead on some personal items of his pictures and personal memorabilia that had been stolen from his house in california many years before. that he wasn't sure, but he thought it might be in las vegas. and, you know, he wanted to know what i thought. >> and what did you respond to

him? >> i told him to call the police. >> did you have any further discussion of that with him? >> we did -- well, the discussion turned on the calling of the police part. >> okay. other than calling the police part, did you advise him regarding that plan? >> well, he never told me of a plan. and, second, i said call the police. he said that he had already tried to call the police, and they weren't doing anything. and i said, o.j., you know, you got to call the police. and if you don't want to call the police, call me, call ron, call security. >> that's interesting. because i remember during the trial itself, it was on the record testimony about that conversation yielding another comment as well, and i believe from yale galanter himself, about don't do this kind of a takeback in california, because

you got a civil judgment against you there, may be better to do it in another state, like vegas. paul vercammen is live in las vegas. has yale galanter alluded to that part of the conversation, you have a civil judgment against you in california, you better maybe do this in vegas instead? has that come up at all, paul? >> reporter: no, that has not come up. that's part of this he said, he said. o.j. says yale galanter advised him that he could, in a way, take his own stuff back. i have to tell you, ashleigh, inside the courtroom, it is the feel bad movie of the year as galanter seemingly shoots dagger at everybody on the simpson side of the gallery, if you will. and, of course, simpson's crew is looking back at galanter. one point that galanter also made, he said he did repeatedly inform o.j. simpson about a plea bargain and also he said he didn't think it was a good idea for o.j. to testify because in

effect he thought o.j. would incriminate himself. that's the reason why o.j. didn't testify in the 2008 trial. >> i imagine the tension, there is always tension when someone is testifying against you, if you're sitting at the defense table or even if you're sitting on the other side of the courtroom. what is the tension like between o.j. who spent so many years with yale galanter, they became friends. >> it is extreme and at times when o.j. simpson seems to think that his attorneys are making a solid point, for example, they have been pounding away at galanter, suggesting that in effect he was running up huge fees and trying to basically siphon any dime he could out of o.j., ripping him off. you'll see o.j. nod, having a bemused look, turn to the other lawyers and whisper to him. it is extremely tense in there. and, you know, galanter's body language, he sits there with his arms crossed, leaning back, he's been going back and forth with the defense lawyer, the judge at times had to admonish him. it is nothing, by the way, like

2008, when, remember, jackie glass, as you pointed out, would just absolutely hammer galanter at times, telling him to just sit down. we haven't had any of those explosions this time. >> i remember it well. i almost thought there would be f bombs at times. that courtroom was wild. it remains to be seen if it will get any wilder. back you go. great coverage through the, paul vercammen, live for us at the clark county courthouse in vegas. up next, some unbelievable allegations are coming out of toronto against the mayor of toronto. a newspaper is reporting that he's been seen on video smoking crack with somali drug dealers. i am not making this up. come right back after the break.

it is friday. and that's probably why i can stomach the story at all. because it is a real wild card and it is coming out of canada, a place i used to live. i was born there. the mayor of toronto is reportedly seen on video reportedly smoking crack cocaine with drug dealers. >> mayor, are the allegations

true? are the allegations true? >> this is mayor rob ford, running an absolute gauntlet of reporters this morning. all of this was ignited by a story in the toronto star newspaper, two of its reporters viewed a video, not once, not twice, three times, and they say that video appears to show ford smoking crack from a glass pipe. the allegation is so outrageous that i asked the toronto star reporter who saw the video how he could be so sure that it wasn't fake. here is what he told me. >> when i finally saw it, along with my colleague, both of us were left clearly believing that this was mayor ford. he has a very distinctive look about him. the lighting is very good in this video, streaming in from blinds, shot in the afternoon. >> so that's the investigative

editor and a reporter both having seen the video. our paula newton has been digging into this story as well. i don't even know where to begin on this one, paula. this has got to have that community absolutely shaking their heads and wondering if anyone is ever going to actually see the video. take me from the beginning. let me know where we stand in this. >> reporter: from the beginning, let's say that cnn, i have not seen the video, no one at cnn has seen the video, we cannot authenticate what the two veteran reporters at the toronto star are saying. use said, they each viewed this tape three times, not given the tape because they wanted too much money for the tape. the star said this was taken in the winter, in toronto, that they first saw it on may 3rd, and that the person who was asking money in exchange for the video, this person actually claims, ashleigh, to have been a person who has sold crack cocaine to mayor rob ford in the past. now, it goes without saying that mayor ford, as we just heard, denies all of this.

he said the allegations are absolutely ridiculous. we have been in contact with dennis morris, the lawyer for mayor rob ford. said he may or may not have some kind of briefing for us later today, but tells us the mayor will be fighting these allegations. again, the star being very certain, they say, that the person they saw on this video was mayor rob ford. why is this so outrageous? i don't have to tell you. this is a city dealing with a lot of gang violence in the first instance. shootings in the second instance. drug turf wars in the third instance. and here, allegedly, what the toronto star alleges, is that the mayor himself is a drug user. now, many people in toronto, as you know, the mayor is a contentious political figure, he is very controversial, but many people in toronto here still shocked today and wanting to know if this video exists, can we see it? so far it has not transpired. i know the toronto star said they're worried about the whole video being erased. there could be legal action undertaken and that's what we're waiting to hear from the mayor's

legal representative. i've been trying to get a hold of the mayor for six or seven months, regarding drug issues. we did a documentary in canada about supervised injection use and harm reduction strategies. toronto was recommended for at least one, if not three of these. the mayor is on record as saying it is not a strategy that he ever wants to talk about. so this saga continues and this might be a long weekend here in canada, but you can bet many reporters will be on this story throughout the next few days. >> listen, if he's going to launch any legal action, you bet your bottom dollar paula newton he's going to have to talk. and that will be a really telling thing if he launches any legal action against toronto star. reputable newspaper, by the way. good job, paula newton and good luck trying to get your hands on that video. just unbelievable. a remarkable story. paula newton for us live in ottawa, the nation's capital. up next, cnn's candy crowley and jake tapper will join me live about the fireworks on capitol hill and the good old u.s. of a, 48 hours after

announcing his resignation. the head of the irs gets a grilling. facing questions about the agency and its targeting of conservative groups. >> who started the targeting? who knew? how did they know? and how high did it go? who leaked the private taxpayer information? everyone's retirement dream is different; how we get there is not. we're americans. we work. we plan. ameriprise advisors can help you

irs is making life harder for certain opponents of the president of the united states. under oath, the acting irs chief steven miller said no, politic was not involved in granting requests for tax exempt status, even though groups with conservative sounding names had their applications flagged for special attention. russell george said pretty much the same thing. irs inspector general, he investigated the accusations and his report came out this week. mr. george also said he did not find any illegal stuff going on. >> would you say the irs used inappropriate criteria for identifying these organizations? is that legal? >> it's -- is it legal? it is -- >> i'm trying to get a sense of what inappropriate criteria -- >> it is not illegal, sir. it was unusual.

>> and you enumerate them, inappropriate criteria were developed and stayed in place for a total of more than 18 months. is that illegal? >> it is not illegal. but it was inappropriate. >> i understand that. i'm trying to get a sense of -- >> if i may, it is contrary to treasury regulations and other policies then in place by the department. >> understand. the substantial delays, is that illegal or inappropriate? >> it is inappropriate. >> and then the third, the unnecessary information, illegal or inappropriate? >> inappropriate. >> house republicans aren't necessarily buying all of this. they say they're going to continue to investigate this. the justice department also investigating this. candy crowley, chief political correspondent, joins me now live. all right, so we're talking what's legal, and we're also talking what's politic. can we separate the two for a moment and have you weigh in on both of these issues, legal and political. >> i think you are better

qualified to weigh in on the legal. and what was actually done. but politically, this is tough. you sit there and listen to them and both these gentlemen, and certainly the former acting director says, no, it wasn't political, it was just a way of sorting it out. this is a really tough sell. this just, you know, the idea that you would say, okay, anybody that has tea party or patriot in their name, pull them out, we'll give them extra scrutiny before we give them tax exempt status. to then sit before a committee and say it wasn't political, it might -- maybe there is some way to explain that, but they got a lot more explaining to do. just not going to pass muster. >> i think if i heard correctly mr. miller saying this was triage at the beginning. and then as it settled through the process, things became more intricate in terms of how they analyzed the applications. candy, please, take me off the ledge here. isn't this exactly what they're supposed to do is find the political names and weed out the sleaze balls that are trying to get special status and not

disclose who their donors are? >> only sleaze balls have tea party in their name are patriot? what about progressive? >> that's the wrong part. didn't they also do that and i'm curious because i do not know the numbers. didn't they also do that with other names that sound progressive? i heard three groups already say they suffered the same consequences. >> apparently not. you and i know we're both at the beginning of this. these sources' stories are pulling a string on a sweater. we're barely at the waistband here. it will take a while. so i don't know. apparently it was not as focused as this was. and it was a very small number that might have come up, you know, because something else flagged in the -- they had various hot spots in the applications. and so the progressive group may have shown up hot in something that took more examtioination, not because progressive was in the name. it is a hard sell. they may be able to sell it. i'm saying they didn't do it

today. >> yeah, well, i think you're right. and it might just be extraordinarily stupid too. i think we definitely think -- >> i think they admitted to that. got -- >> you're going to have fun this weekend, girl. >> my goodness. yeah. needed an extra hour here once you get through -- what really i think inarguably is the worst political week for the president. certainly the shootings at sandy hook elementary was just personally and the president said this often, the worst week of his presidency. there are other times that emotionally it is so hard. this is just a politically tough week, just triple trouble for him. some of it may rise to the point of real scandal. the -- certainly the irs right now has everyone's attention and in part we don't have the ansers to it. and it just doesn't smell right right now. >> all right. well, you're going to be great on the interview seat. always good to see you. thanks for joining us. if candy was mentioning, irs

is front and center for a lot of people. it is clear the hearings left a lot of lawmakers unsatisfied, including one representative, paul ryan. i want to go directly to my colleague jake tapper who is standing by, chief washington correspondent. anchor of the lead here on cnn. you had a chance to speak with the wisconsin congressman. what did he say? >> that's right. the budget house budget committee chairman is going to be our guest at the top of the lead coming up in about 20 minutes or so. he was very fired up at the hearing today, asking questions of the acting irs commissioner. but one of the things that i wanted to know when i talked to him was the president has been out there today, talking about how it seems as though sometimes congress is not focused on things that would make the lives of the american people better. they seem focused on other things. this is going to be a democratic line of attack now, pushback, on all of these scandals and controversies that republicans are focused on. so i asked congressman ryan, are you going to be able to work with the administration on things like the economy and the

deficit and immigration reform while congress also spends so much time focused on discovering more and doing more in oversight on the scandals and controversies. here's what he had to say. >> we have to do our job to our constituents to do oversight of the federal government, we're not getting straight answers on benghazi. we're not getting straight answers on the irs. clearly we're worried about intimidation of the press with respect to the doj scandal. that doesn't mean we're only going to do that. >> his point is they can walk and chew gum at the same time, that members of congress have this oversight responsibility, but you heard him say, very pointedly, we're not getting straight answers on benghazi, we're not getting straight answers on the irs. there is a lot of feeling by republicans and even some democrats in congress that the testimony today by the acting irs commissioner did him more harm than good. even if he's on his way out the door, there are questions about whether or not he's distant from

the obama administration in this. >> don't forget the ap scandal, walk, chew gum and pat your head at the same time. >> on a unicycl. >> on a unicycle juggling. "the lead" with jake tapper, when you're a broadcaster, it feels like we do that too, doesn't it, jake? >> sometimes. >> your show gets under way in a few minutes. looking forward to it. jake tapper live out of d.c. take care. amazing pictures out of alaska, a volcano spewing ash 25,000 feet in the air. the scientists are keeping a close eye on this too because that may be in alaska, but it could disrupt your air travel. coming up next. ♪ ♪ fly me to the moon ♪ let me play among the stars ♪ and let me see what spring is like ♪ ♪ on jupiter and mars ♪ in other words [ male announcer ] the classic is back. ♪ i love [ male announcer ] the all-new chevrolet impala.

the sun is acting up in spectacular style and reportedly there is a small chance it could disrupt satellites later on today. take a peek at some amazing video from nasa's solar dynamics observatory. this week the sun had some four highly intense eruptions that sent solar material out into space. and some of that stuff might get in the way of communication satellites that can impact gps and cell phones, but not to worry, nasa says the spacecraft can be put into a safe mode. safe mode, to protect them against the sun's emissions. sunspots, a great video. besides the sun, two volcanos in alaska that are flaring up like mad. good news, they're in remote areas. very few people live in this area. but with one volcano spewing at 20,000 feet, that ash is just chugging up into the air. air travel could be disrupted. our cnn meteorologist chad myers joins me now too. chad, i know this is very, very

exciting when you have two stories like this. one with sunspots and the other with volcanos. take me to the volcanos, though, and tell me how this could affect air travel. >> you think of alaska being remote, and it is. but there are a lot of flights that fly over alaska, from america, from canada, over to the pacific, hundreds of flights a day. you say, well, who cares? they fly really high. yes, they fly high, but if the ash is 20,000 feet now, it can go a lot higher than that, it can go to 40,000 feet. when that happens, then all of a sudden you have jets flying through ash debris. look at all these. there is 300 islands in the aleutian chain all created by volcanos. how does it happen? eventually the pacific plate pushes under the north american plate. as it does, it goes down. this dirt here, this plate goes under the plate. it warms up, it gets very hot, it creates lava and you get basically the ring of fire like we have in the pacific. whether the plane flies through the ash, it can actually -- the jet engine can melt the ash back

to lava, that lava will then deposit itself on the exit part of the jet, and then all of a sudden you have lava in your jet. i don't want lava anywhere, not alone in the jet engine of a plane at 30,000, 40,000 feet. when they see this ash cloud they fly around it. europe, last year, couldn't even get there because of the iceland volcano. we'll keep watching. these aren't that severe just yet. >> that's just great to geek out on a friday afternoon. >> sure is. >> you are the chief geek, my friend. i mean that lovingly. chad myers, thank you for that. have a good weekend. >> you too. up next, this doesn't make me laugh. this makes me mad. pat robertson, are you ready for what he said? he's making comments about men and cheating. apparently he thinks it's okay. yep. cheating, okay. be right back after this. she's always been able to brighten your day. it's just her way. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use

i even wrote a play about that. my symptoms were a pain in my abdomen and periods that were heavier and longer than usual for me. if you have symptoms that last two weeks or longer, be brave, go to the doctor. ovarian and uterine cancers are gynecologic cancers. symptoms are not the same for everyone. i got sick...and then i got better. you can count on pat robertson to stir up some outrage. he's under fire for telling the wife of a cheating husband to basically forget about the cheating, and make sure her husband didn't need to wander. she had written a letter that was read on the 700 club and here is pat robertson's response to her. >> he cheated on you. well, he's a man. okay. so what you do is begin to focus on why you married him in first

place. recognize also, like it or not, males have a tendency to wander a little bit. and what you want to do is make a home so wonderful that he doesn't want to wander. >> seriously? seriously. message for the laos oouse out , you're a loser. the words of pat robertson. looking for inspiration to win the powerball jackpot? how about this, a man wins a lottery after finding a surprise in his cookie jar. that's one big surprise with lots of zeros. we'll talk with him live next.

very sweet surprise that they found in the special family cookie jar. it was a winning lottery ticket worth nearly $5 million. rhys cerezo was cleaning out the jar filled with family keepsakes and dozens of old lottery tickets and started comparing the numbers against the winners on the lottery website and this. >> when i realized i had all six numbers it was that shocking moment of, whoa, can this really be? i called my son over and asked him to double check this. he looks it through and goes, yep. looks like a winner. >> joining me now on the telephone is ric . thank you so much for being with us. why was the lottery ticket in this very special and sentiment cookie jar? could you lay the foundation for me? >> sure. the jar, itself, was purchased by our daughter, who, unfortunately, passed away in august. she purchased it in may of last year during our neighborhood

garage sale. and since she passed we sort of figured, you know, that's somehow some way going to be a lucky jar in one form or another so we always had our car keys, loose change and of course our lottery tickets inside of it. it was laying there that long just out of sheer laziness on my part not going and checking the tickets. >> and then all of a sudden you did. you checked the tickets. was there any particular reason that drove you to go and pick them up and check them out? >> yes. my wife decided she really wanted to clean up, clear out our kitchen. there were sort of things all over the place and she gave me the ultimatum of take the tickets and get them checked or i'm throwing them away. so i decided i think i better go check them. >> good decision. you had a foreclosure hearing i think it was what, february 12th? you were going to lose your home before finding this ticket. >> correct. >> that's unbelievable.

where do you stand in that? how's the real estate story? fortunately, you know, our mortgage company did give us a modification. and literally at the 11th hour so on that court date our judge elected to give us two more months to try to figure something out with the bank itself. and i was in savannah's room on my knees crying asking the lord not to take her room away from us. that's all we had left. we basically lost everything else. and he listened. the funny thing is all along this ticket was sitting in that jar and we could have been completely cleared of any of those problems that i just mentioned. >> i think savannah has sent you a gift and we're thrilled for you. it's great when we hear about lottery winners like you. you are deserving and we wish you the best you and your family. congratulations. good luck to you. >> thank you so much. >> nice to talk with you.

or does she want to actually defend herself any longer? at this point it is anyone's guess which is part of the reason why this has been such a fascinating case. just gets more fascinating. that is it for me. have yourself a wonderful weekend. i'm headed back down to phoenix for jodi's case. in the meantime jake tapper takes it from here. congressional hearing drinking game. if you took a yagr shot every time someone said outrageous at today's irs hearing you'd be in for one mother of a hangover. i'm jake tapper and this is "the lead." the national lead. today irs stands for, i'm really sorry. the ousted chief apologizing for the agency singling out conservative groups but our guest republican congressman paul ryan says he didn't get any straight answers. the politics lead. the nra no longer just an election year threat for gun control supporting politicians. we're breaking the news right now. the nra is now helping to lead the recall effort to
